The New England Revolution is the only MLS team without a win, falling to 0-5 with a 3-2 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night at Spartan Stadium. The Revs doubled their season output in the final five minutes of the match, scoring goals in the 87th and 89th minutes to cut their deficit after falling behind, 3-2. A remarkable performance by goalkeeper Juergen Sommer prevented the Earthquakes from scoring a half-dozen goals or more, but New England wasted numerous chances, a prevailing theme early in its sixth season. Soccer America talked with Revs coach Fernando Clavijo, midfielder John Harkes and defender Joey Franchino after the match. FERNANDO CLAVIJO How frustrated are you? You can always say there’s a first time for everything, and in 23 years, I don’t remember anything like this. I guess you have to prepare for all situations. … It’s frustrating because we create some chances. We created chances tonight, we created chances the last game [a 1-0 loss at Miami on April 28]. We just can’t finish. We had guys who go 1-on-1 with the goalkeeper — I’ll tell you, even if they didn’t have a goalkeeper, it would have [been difficult] to score today. We didn’t even hit the target today. We’re having chances, but this is a problem. You can plan it tactically anyway you want to, but if you don’t score, you’re never going to win. And I’m frustrated. There are guys putting [in] an unbelievable effort and guys who are going through the motion. [It’s] for me to evaluate who’s not [putting forth the required effort], then they’re not going to play. Simple as that. What will take to solve the problems? Is there some formula that will turn things around? I’ll tell you right now, the formula would be some of the chances we have, we score. It makes you look at the game in a completely different way. Missing those chances right away, of course, everybody in the back in the back of their mind, ‘Here we go again.’ They need to produce. The guys up front need to score, the guys in back need to save the goals, the goalkeeper needs to save them, and the guys up front, they’re not producing right now. And we need to find out why. Who aren’t you happy with, in terms of effort? My players will find out first who they are before I go to the media, but I’m definitely unhappy with the efforts of some of the players, that’s for sure. Any positives out of this match? Juergen [Sommer] was outstanding. Mauricio Wright tried to do as much as he can for defense in the back. In front, Cate and Andy Williams — those were definitely the four best players on the field, at least for me. We just don’t have enough [production from] some other players, and this is a problem. The players who are not producing right now, I want to find out why they’re not. You were set to replace Joey Franchino with Brian Dunseth in the 62nd minute, and it appeared that Franchino waved off the sub … He looked like he almost pulled a hamstring, but he got a cramp, so we hold [the substitution] a little bit. He’s one of the guys who is definitely not going to come out if it’s not a serious injury or something. Are you concerned with how this could impact your job? The day that I was hired, I was prepared to be fired. So I go to sleep every night, I work very honest, I do the job. If somebody feels that my job is not good enough and that I am the cause of the losses, they have all the right to [fire me]. I have nothing to fear. I’m doing the job to the best of my capabilities. If I win — [I] cannot put the ball in the back of the net, and that’s the problem right now. But if somebody does feel that’s why the team is not winning, I have no problem. I want this team to succeed more than anyone else, so if I’m the reason, I have no problem to walk away. When you return to the practice field, what do you have to do to keep the team confident? No. 1, we are all professionals. We get paid to play. I would never give up — even to the day I die, I would try to make this team better. And I’m going to find the character of this team. Every individual needs to find what makes them tick, how they find the motivation to play every game. I [played for] 23 years. The day that I cannot do it anymore, I walk away from the game. Some guys need to reevaluate their careers and start to reassess what their goals are. Some people are satisfied with getting a better contract, some people are satisfied with winning some games, some people are satisfied with walking on the field and signing some autographs. I need to find who those people are, because I’m only going to have winners with me. If they’re not willing to work, [they’re] not going to be part of the team. Or I will not be part of the team. JOHN HARKES On the Revs’ problems: It’s always hard to pinpoint. When there’s situations like this, you tend to overanalyze things. Obviously, this was not a very good performance today. Without Juergen Sommer in goal, it could have been 9 or 10-0. He was incredible, one of best performances I’ve seen from a goalkeeper in a long time, and we didn’t help him. We’re trying to defend at times with five and six guys when we should be defending as a team. I’ve been through things like this before. I went through it with D.C. United in the first season, in ’96; we were 2-8 after 10 games. You have to believe in yourself, work hard and make things work for each other on the field. If you pull through like that, then you can get yourself out of it. If you don’t and you duck your head down, then you’re going to be in more trouble. On battling to get onto the right path: Sometimes, you can walk away from the field, you think about so many things, it’s hard to clear your mind and focus on one thing. When it comes down to game situations, it’s get my head down and just battle. Maybe, at times, we didn’t battle as much as we could have today. It’s really hard to say what things are going on. I don’t have any answer right now. JOEY FRANCHINO On the Revs’ on-field effort: You can put out efforts individually, but this is a team sport. If there’s no chemistry, you’re not going to win. Chemistry wins games. On solutions: I don’t know. I’m lost. I’m trying to find something that’s going to make something better, but we’re 0-5. Every week it’s the same thing. I have no clue what to do but go out there and continue to work. — Scott French
